Gallery: Remembering the 1989 Tiananmen massacre

In 1989, hundreds of people died when Chinese troops stormed Tiananmen Square in Beijing to crush a seven-week pro-democracy protest. Tanks rumbled through the streets of the capital and the military randomly fired on unarmed protesters. The ferocity of the attack was condemned around the world. No official tally of the dead was released and estimates of the death toll range from the hundreds to as high as 2,000. Twenty-three years later, millions around the
world gather to remember the Tiananmen massacre.
